Man Robbed of his Pants on Colfax

DENVER — This surely isn't the first time someone dropped their pants on Colfax, but it may be the first time they were taken at gun point!!

The incident occurred on May 15 around 4:15 a.m. at the corner of E.
Colfax Avenue and N. Adams Street. According to the Denver Police
Department. Two men approached another man on a Denver street corner
then pulled a gun on him and demanded his pants, shoes and backpack.

One of the suspects approached the victim and asked for a lighter,
police said. Then, a red car, driven by the second suspect, pulled up to
the curb and pointed a silver handgun at the victim. He told the victim
to hand over his pants, shoes and backpack.

After the victim gave his belongings to the man in the car, the other suspect got into the vehicle and they drove away.

Detectives described the first suspect as a black male with a light
complexion, about 30-years-old, 5-foot-9 and around 165 pounds. He wore
brown pants, a plain white t-shirt, Fila shoes and a navy blue baseball
cap that didn’t have writing or an emblem.

The second suspect was described as a black male with a dark
complexion and 30-years-old. He wore a black dress hat with a brim all
the way around it and a blue or red ribbon above the brim. The victim
said he spoke with a foreign accent.

They drove a small, two-door, newer-model, red Ford vehicle with
tinted windows in the rear and an out-of-state license plate — the plate
number was NVA644 and had blue and green colors.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact
